Push Button Ignition Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The push button ignition switch is a momentary dual contact switch that provides direct input to the BCM and PCM. Both sets of contacts are normally open. When the START/STOP button is pressed, one set of contacts provides a ground signal to the BCM and the other set of contacts supplies voltage to the BCM and the PCM.

The ignition mode LED indicator is located near the top of the START/STOP button and is controlled by the BCM.
